Migration of the TEST database is completed

[Andrei Robachevsky <]

Dear Colleagues,

The TEST database has been successfully migrated to v3 software. All objects in
the TEST database were converted to RPSL compliant format.

You can continue using the TEST database till 14 May as follows: 

- test-dbm@localhost mail robot accepts updates in RIPE-181 format with some
limitations. 
- test-rpsl@localhost mail robot accepts updates in RPSL format.

After that day changes in robots' functionality will follow the plan fro the
production database. Please see
http://www/ripencc/pub-services/db/rpsl/announcement.html and
http://www/ripencc/pub-services/db/rpsl/index.html for more information.



Finding objects in the TEST Database: 

Do 

whois -h test-whois.ripe.net <Search String> 

e.g. 

whois -h test-whois.ripe.net PB3-TEST 

The whois options that work in the RIPE Database also work in the TEST Database.
We invite you to try them. 

Regards,


Andrei Robachevsky
